The Almighty Allah appointed Adam as His caliph
on the whole earth and made him its heir and He says in the Quran:
"I
am going to place in the earth a vicegerent." [1]
And the Almighty
Allah would also make Hazrat Hujjat as the inheritor of the earth and will
appoint him as His caliph on His earth, as narrated from His Eminence, Abu
Abdillah Sadiq (a) that he said with reference to the exegesis of the verse:
"Allah
has promised to those of you who believe and do good that He will most
certainly make them rulers in the earth." [2]
"He is the Qaim and his companions; and at
the time of his reappearance he would pass his hands over his face and say: Praise
be to Allah, One Who fulfilled His promise and made us inherit the earth…"
